WordPress Coding
April 2, 2019
Getting back in the saddle - I wrote the PHP code for the sidebar navigation, as nothing very good seems to exist in the WordPress world.
The main navigation node at the upper-right shows the path to where you're at with a breadcrumb trail, the page you're on, and any siblings and children. It also incorporates the Blog.
The Recent list shows all recently-edited pages and posts. A Random section picks out random pages and posts, which is interesting since this site is huge and growing.
I also wrote a SiteMap function to lay out the whole thing at once, or by section.
Got the last of the old material added to the new site. Added "Recent Updates" and "Random Links" to navigation. Started playing around with user polls. This site can do everything [that other site] can do, much better.
The old online forum has become really moribund. I wanted to see the last of my contributions there sink out of sight fast, but I guess I'll have to settle for slow.
